pick up jade

The theater troupe was chosen temporarily, and everyone only got together for this one play.In the end, it was a big fire, which was beyond everyone's expectations.Qin Meixiang originally paid 70 yuan per night, but Hao Jiaotian, as the class leader, gave him [-] yuan at the end of the settlement.But he only charged one thousand, and divided the one hundred and other surplus and lottery that exceeded expectations among his team.In this way, everyone's income has doubled, and they are very happy.It's just that what the troupe will do next has become a problem.

Hao Jiaotian is nominally the leader of the class, but in fact he only helps the younger generation.He has been popular in Liyuan for more than 30 years, and he has already earned enough money. Now he is more interested in caring for his grandchildren, rather than being tired of singing.In his early years, he worked hard to provide for his two sons and daughters. The eldest son is now a teacher at Yanda University, and the younger daughter is studying medicine abroad. They are not from Liyuan.On this point, in fact, colleagues are quite critical.It's just that people have their own ambitions, and it's a pity to mention the Taoism, that's all.

Now that the work has been done, I have to hurry to unload the burden on my body.But other people didn't want the team to be disbanded like this, especially the extras in the team.There are hundreds of child actors in a major class of opera, but only a few of them can become roles, and most of them are just begging for food in this industry.But it also depends on who you eat with.A good team has a stable income, performances and halls are always going on, and there are prizes to follow from time to time, and it is no problem to support a well-off family;

Qin Meixiang is well-known and kind-hearted.It is difficult to find such a pillar with a lantern.So the rest of the people didn't want to just disperse like this. Boss Zuoqin doesn't have a team to play with right now, does he?But due to the well-known contract signed with Hongshun's class in the early years, Qin Meixiang could not be the class leader, so the situation became embarrassing.

Qin Meixiang thought about it, and finally went to ask Wu Lianrui.Ordinarily, Boss Wu's temper can't be the head of the class, but fortunately, this time it's just a name, and it doesn't hinder anything.Wu Lianrui considered it for a few days, and finally agreed.Although there are few martial arts students who choose to be class masters, it is not impossible.In recent years, because of his temper, he rarely had the opportunity to make money on stage, and he lost all his savings because of his negligence and injury.Picking this class, one can make money again on stage, and two can bring along a few unpromising sons.Qin Meixiang is kind and easy-going.

So it was named Lianxi Class and officially listed.

Qin Meixiang practiced kung fu during the day, pondered plays or attended parties in the afternoon, and went on stage at night.After the play, if Xu Pingshan comes to pick him up, he will go to Xu's mansion to spend the night.When there is no play, he wears sunglasses and a hat, quietly listening to other people's plays.After the weather completely warmed up, his hand disease gradually recovered.Although it is difficult to guarantee that he will not commit a crime next year, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

In this way, life seems to have returned to the way it used to be.The Luzhu play became popular, and Miss Yao San invited him to take a photo of a set of Luzhu costumes, saying that she would put them in front of the jewelry store to solicit business.Many moviegoers who missed the new movie always stopped to take a look when they passed by.Naturally, idle and wealthy gentlemen and wives are indispensable here, and they drop by the road, which makes the business very prosperous.

Young Master Yu Qi hoped that Qin Meixiang would find time to record a set of records.This has become popular in recent years, and it can keep the sound.Qin Meixiang has always been hesitant about this, because a scene is not only about listening to the voice, but also about appearance and body.Only the sound is reserved for people to listen to, and it seems that it is not a play.He hasn't thought about it yet.

As soon as I relax here, I think of Xiao Yurong.That kid is also on stage now, he looks good, he is a new face, and he has gained some fame.But due to the fact that there is He Cuixian on the top, he can't always sing the leading role.The Hechun class focuses on martial arts, and there are not many Danxing operas on stage, and there are a few senior sisters who are quite different in age.He Cuixian's original Shuanghe class returned to Yandu, but now this person works with both ends of the class, earning a double share of money.Those who are capable work harder, and there is nothing to say.It's just that Xiao Yurong suffered a lot, and she was a little maid on stage and a little follower off stage.Seeing that there are still many years to endure, how can I feel so depressed.

Most of the famous actors come from serving tea and pouring water, but boiling it alone is not the answer.Danjiao's fame often begins when they are in their teens and less than 20 years old, and they are popular when they are popular.If it is not popular, it will be difficult to be popular again if it is delayed later, and there will be younger children who are brighter and younger than them.Moreover, the situation of that child is different from that of Xiao Yulin, and Team Leader Zheng will not let such a good seed go easily.This situation is difficult to get out even if you have money.No way, Qin Meixiang could only hope that he would leave the department sooner, so that he could hire someone to help him.

With only little Yulin left by her side, it is inevitable that she should pay more attention.He carefully looked at the child's eyebrows and eyes, and the doubts he had a long time ago emerged: "You have such a face, why didn't you go to school when you branched out?"

Xiao Yulin was stepping on the upright square bricks, holding his breath when he spoke, for fear of falling off: "Let me learn... I'll pretend I can't practice well..."

Qin Meixiang seemed to understand a little bit: "You don't want to learn Dan yourself?"

"Yeah." He said in a muffled voice, "Singing Dan is not good."

Qin Meixiang stopped talking.

Xiao Yulin realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and he tried to remedy it: "Actually, it's not all...Wu Xing touched me with his head, saying that my frame is too big..." His voice became softer, and he secretly looked at Qin Meixiang.

Qin Meixiang stretched out her hand to pinch his bones, it was thick and hard, and Xiao Yurong, and himself were indeed not in the same way.Looking closer, the shoulders and waist and hips turned out to be so different.It's just that he is young and thin, and the bunt clothes are loose at the waist, so he hasn't noticed it in winter.

He looked at Xiao Yulin, not knowing what to say for a while.One winter passed, and the child grew taller.Everything grows in spring, only the ones that grow faster.

He couldn't tell what he was feeling, so he smiled vaguely.Yu Dongrong has always treated the people around him very well, he thought, if this child follows Master Qi, he will not suffer any disadvantages.

Compared with the bones of the body, there is another important thing, which is Xiao Yulin's voice.

When Xiao Yulin spoke, his voice was crisp and hard, not unpleasant.But as soon as he started to sing, something went wrong, and he was always dumb.This is the reason for the downcast.It's just that his voice, people are not sure whether it is temporary, or it will be like this in the future.

There are two periods in an actor's life that are related to whether he can hold his job: one is when his voice changes when he is young, which is called falling voice; the other is when his voice changes due to lack of strength in middle age, which is called collapse.These are two hurdles that cannot be escaped.Some people are unaffected, survived peacefully, and still shine brilliantly; some people can't do it.

Xiao Yulin doesn't have the problems of left throat and Zihua at the moment, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future.What Qin Meixiang meant was that don't be in a hurry, use your voice less, and act more.Wu Lianrui could not agree with him.Now Liyuan is not as clear as it used to be.Take Dan Xing as an example, originally Tsing Yi did not sing Hua Dan, and Hua Dan did not learn Tsing Yi.But today's good actors all have several identities.Even Qin Meixiang herself, who was born in Tsing Yi, also has a very good skill in Huadan, so it's not a problem to play a sword and a horse.Ye Xiaodie was even more so.This trend has existed since the generation of Boss Wang Leyao.By the time of Yang Qinghan's generation, this kind of danjiao who blended several styles has completely become a new profession, called Huashan.

The same is true for life.The line between martial arts students and old students is also blurring day by day.The audience's requirements are getting higher and higher, singing, reciting and playing are all good, which is much more attractive than Shan You's shining.The old students are the first in the industry, so if the martial arts students want to stand out, they must not only practice their skills, but also learn from the singing skills of the old students.With skill alone, you can only be a martial arts student who doesn't read or sing, and you can't get out of the circle of tricks in your life.

In this way, the two brothers and sisters inevitably had a dispute.Xiao Yulin looked at this and then at that, but he lost his mind.In the end, Boss Qin was careful: "When you sing, your throat feels uncomfortable."

Xiao Yulin nodded honestly: "It's a little uncomfortable, but I can bear it."

With these words, Qin Meixiang had an idea.He took Xiao Yulin to a foreigner's hospital and asked the doctor to show him his throat.It is said that the vocal cords are congested, but it is true that the voice change period has not yet passed.With this in mind, I went to see an old doctor who used to treat actors and singers in the court for consultation.The old man listened and asked about everything, and finally said sincerely: "Don't worry about it, you don't need to take any messy medicine. Sleep well and eat well, and use your throat less. At least two or three months, as long as half a year, his voice will clear up." He came up with a therapeutic prescription, which was nothing more than some food that nourished the yin and moistened the throat, similar to what Qin Meixiang often ate.In this way, everyone has a bottom line in their hearts.

Wu Lianrui wanted Xiao Yulin to pass on his mantle, and he refused to let him go just because he wanted to stop his throat.So I practice Kung Fu every day as usual, learning a lot of skills that rely on martial arts students, hoping that he will achieve something in the future.

Because I put aside the chant for a while, and practiced and knocked down quickly.The opening scene is lively, often performing plays such as Antian Hui and Naolonggong.Wu Sheng doesn't talk much, he only cares about his skills.With this opportunity, Xiao Yulin gradually gained a reputation among the audience.Anyone who loves to watch monkey shows knows that there is a little monkey named Zhou in Cao’s class.I haven't heard him speak much, but that light and agile agility is really comforting to watch.

There are trends everywhere.As his fame grew a bit, the crowd around him immediately increased.There are also those who directly ask Boss Zhou to compliment him.After the play, it is inevitable to be dragged to eat and drink.Xiao Yulin has Bao Yin on her body, so she has confidence, and she always has the heart to choose her own class, so she doesn't refuse too much.

Yu Dongrong soon found out that the little boy was coming home later and later.In the opera business, entertainment is inevitable, but how old is he!There are as many actors as there are actors who are led into the pit just after gaining some fame, and never get up for the rest of their lives.

So another day, when Xiao Yulin came back in the middle of the night under the moonlight, he saw Young Master Yu Qi leaning against the gate with a cold face.

He has always been fearless, but for some reason, this time he couldn't help but feel guilty, a little afraid to look at others: "Qi Ye..." But after thinking about it, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary Son, straighten the spine again.

Yu Dongrong looked coldly at the change of expression on his face, before speaking after a while: "Now it's time to call Boss Zhou, huh?"

Although Xiao Yulin was a bit flustered, he wasn't really confused. He shook his head: "They're just screaming, so don't take it seriously."

Yu Dongrong didn't move: "Drink?"

Xiao Yulin nodded: "Drink a little."

"Okay, you've made progress. Forget what your master and Boss Qin told you." Young Master Yu Qi sarcastically said, "It's Xue Chenglong who pulled you to drink. I'll see you come on stage tomorrow, not only to act dumb Monkey, I have to act as a drunk monkey."

Voice is a concern of Xiao Yulin, but it is Yu Dongrong who poked his heart like this, which made him angry from the grievance: "I'm not stupid!" He paused: "I can't ignore him, right?" !"

"You are not stupid." Yu Dongrong nodded: "I asked you to drink today, and you drank it. Tomorrow, I asked you to hug the girl, and I did too. The day after tomorrow, pass the big smoking gun, and you have to smoke it. Smarter than you There are some clever ones, and they are all tricked step by step in this way."

Xiao Yulin knew that Qiye was doing it for his own good, but when he mentioned hugging the girl, his teeth clenched: "You don't hug the girl all day long!"

How dare he turn around and meddle in Yu Dongrong's affairs!Yu Dongrong waited for him for most of the night, trying to reason with him, but he was choked by this brat in front of him, which is not bad!So completely angry, he turned around and slammed the door behind him.

Xiao Yulin was turned away, and became stubborn.He didn't even knock on the door, he jumped up to the courtyard wall, turned over in two strokes, and blocked Yu Dongrong's way in the middle of the courtyard.Young Master Yu Qi spared him with a sullen face, and said: "You can go to sleep in the West Wing today." After finishing speaking, he was still puzzled: "Wash off that alcohol smell!"

Standing in the night wind, Xiao Yulin stuck his neck and shouted at his back: "Why!"

Yu Dongrong likes him and dotes on him, but he has never been able to stand his ass-like stinky temper.How long has it been, less than a year.He was with him, after all, for pleasure, not to annoy himself all day long.So he didn't bother to talk to Xiao Yulin, went back to the room and closed the door, and there was no movement.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yulin came in through the window directly, stood in front of Yu Dongrong, and asked angrily, "Did you hug me?"

Young Master Yu Qi was negotiating business with people, and these things on the scene were unavoidable.But it's just a formality.He is more interested in little opera singers than girls. After having Xiao Yulin, he went to Huifangli, and really just listened to the music.But if you want him to put down his body and explain this, he is too lazy to talk about it.It's fun for Xiao Pong's family to occasionally quarrel and get jealous.It's not the way Xiao Yulin fights with his horns upright.

Sometimes he really felt that he was blind, what kind of thing did he put by his side?

"Who let you in!" So he looked at Xiao Yulin angrily: "I have learned how to climb walls and drill windows, can you learn a little bit better! Get out!"

"Don't go out! Why don't I learn well! You hug the girl, but I don't!" Seeing that Yu Dongrong didn't speak, his eyes gradually turned red: "You can and I can't, can't you? You are good at everything, I have nothing. Today If you are happy, be nice to me. If you are unhappy tomorrow, I will be nothing." He wiped his eyes fiercely: "Unless I become popular and I can pick my own shift. When you don't want me, I will be nothing." The whole street knows it! I don't care about fame, but Seventh Master, you want face, you don't want to get rid of me..." He couldn't continue, he gritted his teeth and walked outside.

Yu Dongrong suddenly realized that Xiao Yulin didn't believe what he said at all.The child was not at all ignorant.He actually understood their relationship better than anyone else.It can be said that it is clear, but in fact it is confused.Because praise and being praised, in the final analysis, each takes what it needs, and if you put your sincerity in it, it will change the taste.

This obviously caused a lot of trouble, but for some reason, Yu Dongrong's heart was sore.

It's been so many years, this feeling is sour and bitter with a little sweetness in it.He left everything behind for that little bit of sweetness.Now after so many years, knowing that it was the same pit, he fell in again.His elder brother always said that he was not hard-hearted enough, and his father thought he was worthless.It's not wrong, he just doesn't grow up like that.

His throat seemed to be blocked by something: "You stop for me."

"I won't stop!" Xiao Yulin said, turning the hedgehog's head around.He wiped his nose and stared back with red eyes.But slowly, the momentum on his body softened, and he whispered in disbelief, "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Dongrong looked at him and turned around: "If you leave this door, you will never come back."

How could Xiao Yulin be willing to really leave.He wished he could stick to his seventh master all day long, and drive away all those messy girls and father-in-law.But there was always a little bit of strange self-esteem at work, which made him naturally less inclined to be submissive and obedient.

Even so, he still walked back behind Yu Dongrong.Standing very close, the tip of his nose was on the back of Young Master Yu Qi's neck, and he could smell the skin on that piece of skin.Perfume, and a bit of Yu Dongrong's unique, clean and pleasant smell.

Xiao Yulin suddenly felt ashamed, he felt that the smell of alcohol on his body was really unpleasant.He wanted to hug Yu Dongrong, but was afraid of being rejected, so he stretched out his hand expectantly and grabbed Young Master Yu Qi's clothes.

Yu Dongrong turned around, his expression had regained his composure: "I want to entertain business, and some things are unavoidable. But it's all a formality. You will have time with me, you should know."

"Then don't sleep with them." Xiao Yulin whispered, "I'm uncomfortable."

Young Master Yu Qi flicked him on the forehead, a little helpless: "Aside from going out to watch business, why don't I sleep with you someday?"

"Not during Chinese New Year."

"Little ancestor." Yu Dongrong sighed: "I know your ambition, you are not reconciled, and you want to climb up, it's okay. But you also have to see who you are dating. It's too early to think about this now, let's sing the show well first. Yes. Drama is the foundation of your life. Boss Cao will hire a private school teacher for the children in a few days. I said hello, and you should go and listen."

"I was literate at the age of five."

"Literacy alone is not enough." Yu Dongrong stared at him: "Are you listening to me?"

"……listen."

"Okay, let's take a shower."

Xiao Yulin didn't move, and lowered his head.With his head down now, he is not much shorter than Yu Dongrong.

"What's wrong?" Yu Dongrong looked at him, his heart pounding: "You have something to hide from me?" He frowned: "You don't know how to smoke opium!"

"I didn't!" Xiao Yulin raised his head angrily: "I just drank some wine!" He lowered his voice, terribly wronged: "I... bought something for you. Today I sent a package of silver, and I finally got the money together enough."

Yu Dongrong became curious now: "What is it, show me quickly."

Xiao Yulin took out a small box from his arms, opened it, and inside was a gold-plated jadeite tie clip.The texture of jadeite is very general, but the style is not bad.

Yu Dongrong's heart warmed up: "How much did you buy it for?"

Seeing his smile, Xiao Yulin also smiled shyly: "50 yuan." On average, his daily package of silver was only [-] anise, which took nearly two months.

Yu Dongrong coughed and couldn't believe his ears: "How much?"

"I bought it at Yaoji. I mentioned Ms. Yao San's name." He looked a little uneasy: "The shopkeeper said to sell me at a lower price, what's wrong?"

Yu Dongrong scolded profiteers in his heart.But forced a smile on his face: "No, it's cheaper."

"Really?"

Young Master Yu Qi calmed down, and carefully covered the box: "Really, I'll put it on tomorrow. I lost one a while ago, and this one is just right." He pinched Xiao Yulin's ears, his heart was full of tenderness. Soft, and a bit sweet: "Go take a bath!"

Xiao Yulin simply agreed, turned around and ran away.

Yu Dongrong opened the box again, looked at it, and sighed.

Then laughed again.
